It's a real shame that moving from the SUP720 to the SUP2T 
will mean throwing out my still-more-than-capable WS-
X6708's.

Oh well, for a pure Layer 2 switching house, the SUP720 is 
doing just fine, so it'll be a very long while before we 
consider the new SUP2T.

But I see how this could be a seriously compelling issue for 
folk using the 6500 as routers, because on paper, the SUP2T 
seems nearly as impressive as an ASR9000 or Juniper MX, 
depending on your use-cases, of course. Good luck to those 
folk.

Mark.
